This briefing is an update that is available to be distributed, as you chose, 
by the ISP and IPC representatives.
I have provided a briefing on the breakfast because of the mutual interest, 
even for those who are not here in person.
secondly, we have confirmed business guests, and I've cc'd them as they are 
invited tothe breakfast, and all other sessions. 
For others who are inviting guests, I need the names from you for seat 
assignments. See request for onsite assistance to place the seating cards and 
make last minute adjustments and assist in on site hosting. I also need 
'volunteer sherpas' to take care of the special guests and we are likely to be 
asking that of you on site. ===============================================
UPDATE ON BREAKFAST -- CROSS CONSTITUENCY BREAKFAST WITH BOARD AND SENIOR STAFF 
AND GUESTS FROM SG 'SECTORS'

Please arrive a little eary to be sure you are in the room by 7:50 a.m. since 
the Board and staff and guests will arrive at 8 a.m. The Breakfast will end at 
9:45 a.m.
there are there topics for the breakfast -- the third was collaboratively 
developed with Peter Dengate Thrush on Saturday.
Remember that there are a number of non member guests -- some from ISPs, 
including from India and Kenya and AfrISPA. A few of our local Business guests 
from the Computer Society of Kenya from Sunday's dinner will join Waudo 
Siganga, our WITSA member of the BC.  This breakfast is intended to be a 
dialogue between people, and the Board has repeatedly told me, as has the 
Chair, that they wish to listen and to have a dialogue. 
I want to mention to all of you remote participants that although the Board did 
have a competing commitment with the GNSO policy council dinner, Peter Dengate 
Thrush, Chair, accepted the invitation from Waudo and me to bring some of the 
Board members to the Reception and to make remarks, with the other Board 
members and the ICANN staff starting the dinner with the GNSO Policy 
Councilors. The V.Chair of the Policy Council graciously met with Peter and me 
to collaborate on that arrangement.
the Board who came were thrilled to meet the local business community and their 
enthusiam for theort of our local BC member, and the support that we provided 
was very well received and several board members congratulated me for the 
initiative of the BC. Since the "tool kit" of services and support by staff to 
enable us to focus more on outreach and recruitment is on our agenda for  
discussion with the Board during the breakfast, we can expect a more receptive 
and interested 'ear' and attitude to our desire to do more ourselves but with 
appropriate ICANN support to our efforts to grow and enhance the participation, 
overall in the CSG's constituencies. 
SEATING:  There will be a sort of rough allocation of assigned seats, with my 
effort to put new people with one or two 'sherpa', that is a seasoned member of 
one of the constituencies/or two, who will join them at their table with the 
Board/Staff and ensure that everyone gets introduced, socializes a bit, etc. 
STAY TUNED TO GET AN ASSIGNMENT. 
I am inviting Steve DelBianco, Tony Harris and need one more volunteer to help 
with distributing the seating assignments.  You will need to arrive at 7:15 
a.m. at the Venue. 
The room for the breakfast will be distributed shortly, as soon as I get it 
from ICANN. 
THREE TOPICS for table discussion:  Some board members and staff will be 
leaving at 9 and 9:30 a.m. for other commitments.  There will be non members 
[potential members] at each table.  After the breakfast, please escort these 
folks into the CSG meeting, if they are available to join us. I would ask that 
the 'sherpas' play a bit of a introductory role to your colleagues, as needed. 
1. AFFIRMATION OF COPMMITMENTS/IN THE LIGHT OF IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL 
CONFIDENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ICANN'S ACTING IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

this is not merely looking to the GAC, but understanding that this is a basic 
foundational principle to ICANN]

BUISNESS USES -- SPECIAL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES -- Led by Waudo Siganga.

INTERNET GOVERNANCE/IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS USER LEADERSHIP/EXISTING LEADERSHIP

with Marilyn Cade as a topic of beneficial overarching relevance to the three 
constituencies and to ICANN.-to prepare for this discussion, please review the 
Strategic Plan/Operational Plan references to ICANN's related activities.
